Summer Wellness Center Coordinator

Sunrise Day Camp Greater Philly

Sunrise Day Camp Greater Philadelphia, for children ages 3 - 16, is the only dedicated full summer day camp in the world for children with cancer and their siblings. It is a camp designed to meet the emotional, social, recreational and physical needs of these children while allowing them to enjoy the comforts and safety of their own homes at night.

Sunrise Day Camp will provide a true camping experience while the children remain within their own familiar surroundings. Sunrise Day Camp offers a 7 week camping experience. Sunrise Day Camp offers a full, multi-week summer activity program plus year- round camp-like programs. Additionally, our in-hospital program Sunrise On Wheels allows children to experience “camp” in the hospital by providing activities for those who are awaiting treatment.

Best of all, Sunrise Day Camp is offered free of charge to all children being treated for cancer and their siblings on a non-sectarian basis. By raising the needed funds from outside sources instead of charging the parents, we can help to alleviate some of the costs, and the related stress, that parents incur caring for a sick child throughout the year. Children who have received medical clearance from their physicians are welcome to attend. Though 7 weeks of camp programming is offered, children may register and attend any and every day they feel well enough to do so.

Wellness Coordinator Position

Sunrise Day Camp is actively hiring individuals to serve as a Wellness Coordinator. We are looking for individuals who are mature, responsible, energetic, creative and excited to make a tremendous impact in the lives of our children. The coordinator is responsible for organizing and housing all camper medical information and assisting the nursing staff with all administrative duties, equipment, etc. They are also responsible for managing the Wellness Center (our name for the infirmary), including supervising campers who may be resting in the Wellness Center. Wellness Coordinators work closely with the camp nursing team (many of whom rotate in and out of camp), the unit heads, and the camp directors.

Camp will run from June 30- August 15, with mandatory training sessions throughout June. Dates are June 23rd through June 27th

Our staff works with children between the ages of 3 ½ and 16 for up to seven and a half weeks. Staff positions commonly involve being with children for the full length of the camp day, from camper arrival at 9:30 AM until 3:45 PM. Because our camper population may have greater emotional and physical needs, and because staff stays in close proximity with the campers, the experience is demanding. It is critical that staff members are attentive to children, their individual needs and concerns, and demonstrate a willingness to do more than their share.
